It's not like a don't like TES, I like it just don't regard it as a classic but still a good album, although feel like this is the album where he turned his back on the underground scene and starting making a more commercialy influenced album.

Well, actually....he cursed on this album strongly than ever.....being called Eminef by critics for saying motherfucker constantly so not 100% percent but i understand what you're saying....
He just matured in that album that's the only difference :smoking:

I would say MMLP and TES are both classics, but imo Sing For the Moment is better than half of the songs on the MMLP. That song alone makes TES a better album in my eyes.

SSLP & MMLP :worship: :worship:

TES is great, very great, well-done all around, but it doesn't have the unique/creative/witty/twisted feeling that SSLP & MMLP have :-k

What does "classic" even mean, anyway?

Just a BS term thrown around in the rap community.

In my opinion SSLP, MMLP and TES are all classics.
Relapse is a great album, his flow is amazing on that album but it's not a classic.
Encore has great moments but too many bad songs along with them to consider it anywhere near a classic. Again, just my opinion :flower:

I would have to say...

TES/SSLP/ MMLP is classic
Relapse is great
Encore is good.

The Eminem Show is the classic shady album above SSLP/MMLP then Relapse or Encore.

Relapse is an awesome album but couldn't top as classic, also I'm hoping R2 would become a classic, who knows..

Encore would be a great album if it took few weak songs and replace from bonus disc.

I would mix TES, SSLP, MMLP and some from Relapse and Encore, with favorite songs or which tops it all.

I'm gonna try to get Infinite and SSEP and 8 Miles soundtrack and Soul Intent
that I've never had a chance to listen to 'em but I'm sure they aren't classic, IMO..
